Highlands

I know it's been FOREVER since I posted, and I just realized this week that I never downloaded the photos from our recent trip to Highlands, NC--so I figured this was as good a reason as any for an update.

This was our second trip to Highlands together--I had been before with my family as a child. But this has become a special getaway place for Barry and me. It's such a peaceful place.

Last time we stayed at The Lodge at Old Edwards Inn, but this time we ended up in a suite at in the Inn itself, since The Lodge was closed for the winter. I will say a love the rustic Lodge, but who can argue with this suite?

We had a great time doing virtually nothing but laying by the fire. This is not place you go to see the sights--there are no sights. This is a place to relax, and that's exactly what we did, including spending a day at the Inn's fabulous world-class spa. It was heaven.


Our only outing of the weekend, other than for dinner and shopping, was to see the town's Christmas parade, where we saw Mr. and Mrs. Claus....




...and CAMELS!!!





The camels were very cool, but did not smell good at all.

We had a great time and are already looking forward to our visit!
